Edible Miniature Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Make 3D Waffles with This Mold by Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira

— May 6, 2012 — Art & Design
Two artists by the name of Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira have created this lifestyle-inspired waffle maker due to their love of contemporary furniture. They called this project 'furniture tasting,' because after all, who knows what a wood chair tastes like? This artistic spin on a breakfast favorite takes dining to the next level, with a fun concept that is sure to excite your imagination.

You can slather these waffles with traditional maple syrup or get creative with different flavored jams and icing. The possibilities are endless with the experimenting, as you can try using different flavored batters as well. With 3D movies and television being all the rage nowadays, it’s no wonder that this trend has been picked up in other non-related area’s such as food. These waffles are sure to surprise your guests.
